520 Set against the backdrop of the turbulent thirteenth
century, a time of chivalry and crusades, poetry and
knights, comes the story of the four daughters of the
count of Provence whose brilliant marriages made them the
queens of France, England, Germany, and Sicily. From a
cultured childhood in Provence, each sister was propelled
into a world marked by shifting alliances, intrigue, and
subterfuge. Marguerite, the eldest, whose resolution and
spirit would be tested by the cold splendor of the Palais
du Roi in Paris; Eleanor, whose soaring political
aspirations would provoke her kingdom to civil war;
Sanchia, the neglected wife of the richest man in England
who bought himself the crown of Germany; and Beatrice,
whose desire for sovereignty led her to risk her life to
earn her place at the royal table. This book shatters the
myth that women were helpless pawns in a society that
celebrated physical prowess and masculine intellect.--From
